The news keeps on coming.
Jim Hermann was named linebackers coach today by Tom Coughlin, and will replace Bill Sheridan who was just promoted to defensive coordinator.
It’s not a big move, logistically.
Hermann spent the last three years in the same position with the Jets, and just happen to be looking for employment because of the regime change. He spent 20 years on staff at the University of Michigan, including nine as defensive coordinator.
And don’t you know Sheridan just happened to be on that staff.
“I’ve always been very much aware of Jim Herrmann and the job that he has done,” Coughlin said. “He was the defensive coordinator at the University of Michigan for a lot of years and did an outstanding job. I was very impressed by not only the type of defense that they played but the aggressive style that they played. And he is a part of the Bo Schembechler tree. I have always been a great admirer of Bo Schembechler. … People that I have respect for in the business have coached with him and have nothing but outstanding things to say about him.”
